Building Glenelg 27 in Newcastle. 1st July - On Site 3rd December - Handover Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 3909Jan 12, 2015 5:22 pm We went and looked at bricks today. Loved 'Expressions-Blackstone' (don't think we can afford them ), 'Blackbutt' and to a lesser extent 'Whitsunday-Opheus'.

Unfortunately, our brickies are on strike, so can't really show you on ours yet (one row of bricks). If you want to see what it looks like, a forumite (bradk) building with McDonald Jones has it on his blogspot. Here is the link..

It's not the smoothest brick like some of the expensive ones but it has a nice texture. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 3918Jan 12, 2015 8:46 pm I love the colours on that house. Thanks for the info. They have moved above the Blackbutt bricks, they look a bit cheap.
